Hi Gustavo,
Is it within the scope of Canonical employees to contribute code to
Debian that is under the his copyright and not Canonical's? And
especially since it is in the exact same area that he was employed by
Canonical to do? Would this apply to Progeny and Debian, Progeny and
Canonical, Linspire and ...
